Gauntlet

Gauntlet (Gauntlet Networks, Inc.) is a crypto risk-management and yield-curation firm that runs agent-based economic simulations to optimize risk, incentives, and capital efficiency for DeFi protocols, and curates 80+ institutional-grade yield vaults across Aera, Morpho, Kamino, Drift, and Symbiotic. For developers it ships the Gauntlet Developer Kit: a public read-only REST API at api.gauntlet.xyz (v1) exposing vault metrics, user positions with PnL, wallet activity, TVL, and token prices, plus an official TypeScript SDK (@gauntlet-xyz/sdk) for on-chain deposits, withdrawals, and ERC-8021 attribution. Authentication is a partner-provisioned Bearer API key. Backed by Paradigm, Polychain, and Ribbit Capital.

Gauntlet publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Prices API, System API, TVL API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto Data, DeFi, Risk Management, and Yield.

Gauntlet’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, quickstart, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 22 more developer resources.
